Mr. Ó'hAlmhain explains the background to the Tyndall Series of Physics Lectures. John Tyndall was an eminent Irish physicist.
Transition Year students will be attending the annual Tyndall Lecture titled "The Physics of Martial Arts" on Thursday 30th January.
The lecture is part of an annual series following in the tradition of Irish physicist John Tyndall (1820-1893) who gave hundreds of lectures at the Royal Institution in London, these Institute of Physics (IOP Ireland) sponsored lectures use demonstrations and interactivity to enthuse school children about the physics they are learning in class.
"The 2014 Tyndall Schools' Lecture Series sees Master Robert Howard (7th Degree Master in Taekwondo) give a lecture on The Physics of Martial Arts. [...] Master Howard who also has a PhD in physics will be explain the concepts of; velocity, momentum, force and energy, while at the same time checking if his physics is correct by smashing timber and tiles." - [Reference: www.iopireland.org].
